Big days in the backcountry require planning, plenty of gear, and quick access to avalanche safety essentials. The Soelden 42 is Osprey's largest technical backcountry ski pack designed with overnight hut tours in mind. Built with top-end materials to keep it as lightweight as possible on grueling ascents and a stable fit for dynamic descents. An easily accessible front panel pocket houses your avalanche safety kit while the top and backpanel provide two means of access to the dry main storage compartment. This high-volume snow pack offers both ski and snowboard carry options, with enlarged ski loops for wider planks, plus a sewn-in helmet net and buckles for easy adjustments with gloves on. Constructed with an eye for sustainability, this pack series uses bluesign approved main body high tenacity nylon and DWR treatments made without PFAS.
